There are many ways to point a domain address to a different domain or subdomain and one of them is by setting up a CNAME record. If you own a domain and you've set up a site through some on-line service which provides you with a service subdomain, you could easily link the two by creating a CNAME record for your-domain.com that redirects to subdomain.provider.com. What you are going to achieve in this way is that www.your-domain.com is going to be in the Internet browser address bar while it opens the already mentioned Internet site from the servers of the third-party company. It is very important to know that if you set up a CNAME record, any other records your domain address may have will stop functioning, so you cannot have both a CNAME record pointing to one company and working e-mail address with a different one. The CNAME record is always an alpha string, not a number, and frequently further configuration may be necessary with the other provider.

CNAME Records in Shared Hosting

You can effortlessly set up CNAME records if you have a shared service with our company. We'll supply you with an easy-to-use Control Panel which allows you to see all DNS records for the domain addresses and subdomains which are hosted in the account. Setting up a CNAME record requires a number of simple steps - choose the domain/subdomain, pick CNAME as the type, enter the hostname you are forwarding to, and then just click the Save button. The procedure is as elementary as that and the new record will be active almost instantly. This way, you're going to have more control over your domain addresses and subdomains and over the content they open, you'll be able to create a private URL for company e-mails, and a lot more. If you feel unclear about how to create a new record or you have never done such a task, we have a short video tutorial in which you can see the whole process first-hand. If you want to edit or delete an existing CNAME record created for a domain/subdomain hosted on our end, it'll require literally just a mouse click to do it.

CNAME Records in Semi-dedicated Hosting

You are going to be able to create, modify and delete CNAME records very easy with any one of our semi-dedicated server plans. The accounts are managed via the custom Hepsia hosting CP, and in one of its sections you'll see all records for every domain address or subdomain you have added in your account. To create a new record, you just have to pick the hostname that will be forwarded (domain/subdomain), type in where it will be forwarded to, pick the record type, which will be CNAME in this case, and you're going to be all set. Even when you have never used a web hosting service before, our Control Panel is very intuitive to use, so you will not have any issues. We also have a short video and a detailed help article regarding how to create a CNAME record, both of which are available in the same section of Hepsia. With this function, you can easily use a domain name hosted on our innovative cloud hosting platform for a site created elsewhere, set up a custom webmail login address with any of your domains, and much more.
